SAMUEL B. CALLAWAY
Born in Carroll county, Missouri, July 6, 1837. Died in Bee county, Texas, Saturday, April 4, 1914,
at the home of his son, Ed Callaway, after an illness of five weeks, buried in San Domingo Cemetery
Sunday, April 5th at 10 o'clock. The funeral services were conducted by C. I. Swan and a choir of
neighbors and friends who sang the hymn he loved - and which he sang the night he died,
"Jesus Lover Of My Soul."
At an early age he became a Christian and joined the Methodist church, living always a consistent
life, so much so that none who helped to perform the last rites in his honor could remember any
criticism ever uttered against him. He was a good husband, father, neighbor, friend and his children's
children are proud to claim descent from so worthy a sire.
